You could avoid the 2nd descriptor, by copying the unaligned part of the
payload into first descriptor (containing headers : about 66 bytes or so
you have room, if not, increase the 128 bytes room to 192 bytes)

May... but in general it would be closer of 2 * 45

I believe it is fine : that is about 5 64KB TSO packets.
